Herm, Dan, and family--
So sorry to hear of Jan's passing. Years ago (at least three decades now) when I knew Jan well she was always so fun and happy. She once showed me how to tell a B from a D by making a thumbs-up with both hands then putting the knuckles together. The left side's the lowercase B; the right's the lowercase D. And I'm sorry I never got to share with her that I use that great example with my younger students every time they struggle with Bs and Ds. All thanks to Jan!
My best to you all, Stevens family.
Rest in peace, Jan!
